Domenii Market is where the potatoes come scrubbed, the herbs are neatly tied with twine, and the sellers will straight-up tell you if the goods are homegrown or hauled in from a warehouse. It’s compact, calm, and oddly serene – a rare vibe for a Bucharest market. The crowd? Higher income, low tolerance for nonsense – people who know what they want and won’t haggle over pennies. Prices are slightly higher than in other parts of the city, but quality usually keeps up. If you’re after a clean, no-drama market with solid produce, Domenii checks the boxes.

Access: Near Grivița or 1 Mai metro stations, but the easiest way is tram 41 – it stops right at the entrance.
